Version 1.3.4
- Fixed handling language codes in case there is no audio or Dolby PID. - Fixed handling CA ids (was broken in 1.3.3). - Fixed the SVDRP command 'STAT DISK' to avoid a 'division by 0' in case the disk is full (thanks to Jens Rosenboom). - Fixed handling bitmap indexes for 256 color mode (thanks to Andreas Regel). - Now handling "linked services" (based on the 'autopid' patch from Andreas Schultz). Linked channels are detected and added to 'channels.conf', but currently they are not yet presented to the user other than being in the normal channel list (this will come later). - Preliminary fix for the "Unknown picture type error" (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for his support in debugging this one). This may slow down switching between channels on different transponders for now, but a better solution will come later. - Fixed the validity check for channel IDs, because some providers use TIDs with value 0 (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl). - Enabled switching to a channel even if it has no Vpid or Apid set, because these might be automatically set when tuned to that transponder. - No longer closing the Channels menu after trying to switch to a channel that is currently not available. - Removed the now obsolete CaCaps stuff. The Setup/CICAM menu now displays the actual CAM type as reported by the CAM. The 'ca.conf' file has been stripped down to the values 0..4. |

Version 1.3.0
- Changed thread handling to make it work with NPTL ("Native Posix Thread Library").
Thanks to Jon Burgess, Andreas Schultz, Werner Fink and Stefan Huelswitt.
- The cThread class now accepts a 'Description' parameter, which is used to log
the beginning and end of the thread, together with its process and thread id.
For descriptions that need additional parameters you can use the function
cThread::SetDescription(), which accepts 'printf()' like arguments.
Existing plugins that use threads should be changed to use this functionality
instead of explicit 'dsyslog()' calls inside their Action() function in order
to support logging the thread ids.
- Added "Slovak Link" and "Czech Link" to 'ca.conf' (thanks to Emil Petersky).
However, 'ca.conf' is now pretty much obsolete due to the automatic CA handling.
- Mutexes are now created with PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP, which makes the
'lockingTid' stuff obsolete (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Changed font handling to allow language specific character sets.
- Adopted the small font character set from the "Elchi" patch (originally
provided by Alessio Sangalli).
- Greek language texts now use iso8859-7 character set (thanks to Dimitrios
Dimitrakos).
- Rearranged section data handling, so that the actual data handling can be done
separately, even from within plugins.
- The EPG data structures have been moved from eit.[hc] to epg.[hc] and have been
adapted to the general VDR coding style. Plugins that use these data structures
may need to change some function names (which should be obvious).
The name 'subtitle' has been changed to 'shortText' to avoid clashes with actual
subtitles that are part of a movie. The name 'extendedDescription' has been
shortened to 'description'.
- Replaced 'libdtv' with 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg), which is thread
safe and can be used by multiple section filters simultaneously.
- Added 'cRwLock' to 'thread.[hc]'. Note that all plugin Makefiles need to
define _GNU_SOURCE for this to work (see the example plugin Makefiles and
'newplugin').
- Fixed a problem with crc32 in SI handling on 64bit systems (thanks to Pedro
Miguel Sequeira de Justo Teixeira for reporting this one).
- Fixed an alignment problem in CAM access on 64bit systems (thanks to Pedro
Miguel Sequeira de Justo Teixeira for reporting this one).
- Added 'StreamType' setting to CAM communication, which is important for
Aston/SECA CAMs (thanks to Antonino Sergi).
- Now the CA descriptors are sent to the CAM in the 'program' or 'ES level'
sections, depending on where they are found in the PMT (thanks to Hans-Peter
Raschke for reporting this one). This should make SkyCrypt CAMs work.
- Now using the 'version number' of EPG events to avoid unnecessary work.
- Channel data is now automatically derived from the DVB data stream (inspired
by the 'autopid' patch from Andreas Schultz).
- The current channel is now automatically re-tuned if the PIDs or other settings
change. If a recording is going on on a channel that has a change in its
settings, the recording will be stopped and immediately restarted to use the
new channel settings.
- EPG events now use the complete channel ID with NID, TID and SID.
- Channel names in 'channels.conf' can now have a short form, as provided
by some tv stations (see man vdr(5)). Currently channels that provide short
names in addition to long ones are listed in the OSD as "short,long name",
as in "RTL,RTL Television". The short names will be used explicitly later.
- The Ca parameter in 'channels.conf' has been extended and now contains all the
CA system ids for the given channel. When switching to a channel VDR now tests
for a device that provides one of these CA system ids. The devices automatically
get their supported ids from the CI handler.
- The values in 'ca.conf' are currently without any real meaning. Whether or not
a channel with conditional access can be received is now determined automatically
by evaluating its CA descriptors and comparing them to the CA system ids
provided by the installed CAM. Only the special values 1-16 are used to assign
a channel to a particular device.
- Increased the maximum number of possible OSD colors to 256.
- Limited the line length in the EPG bugfix report, which appears to fix a buffer
overflow that caused a crash when cleaning up the EPG data (at 05:00 in the
morning).

Version 1.2.5pre3
- Fixed dropping out of replay mode while viewing a recording that is still
going on (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting and helping to debug this
one).
- Fixed handling ':' characters in channel names when reading channels.conf
(thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one).
- Fixed the URL to the 'Doxygen' tool in INSTALL (thanks to Dirk Essl).
- Removed the obsolete chapter "Stopping a recording on the primary DVB interface"
from MANUAL.
- Completed Dutch language texts (thanks to Hans Dingemans).
- Made 'diseqc.conf' a required file only if Setup.DiSEqC is activated (thanks to
Thomas Schmidt).
- VDR now starts up even if 'keymacros.conf' references a plugin that is currently
not loaded (suggested by Alexander Wetzel).
- Fixed checking for VIDEO_STREAM_S in cRemux::SetBrokenLink() (thanks to Oliver
Endriss).
- Added 'repeat' function to keys '7' and '9' ("jump to mark") in replay mode
(suggested by Oliver Endriss).
- Made cOsdMenu::Display() virtual, which allows plugins to do some additional
processing after calling the base class function (suggested by Jan Rieger).
- Updated 'ca.conf' (thanks to Marco Franceschetti).

Version 1.1.22
- Added 'Hrvatska radiotelevizija' and 'RTV Slovenija' to ca.conf (thanks to
Paul Gohn).
- Implemented actual user input for CAM enquiry menus.
- Since disk file systems apparently don't honor the O_NONBLOCK flag to read from
a file in non-blocking mode the cDvbPlayer now uses a non blocking file reader
class to make sure replay remains smooth even under heavy system load.
- Increased the maximum possible packet size in remux.c to avoid corrupted streams
with broadcasters that send extremely large PES packets (thanks to Teemu Rantanen).
- Added TS error checking to remux.c (thanks to Teemu Rantanen).
- Modified cRingBufferLinear to avoid excessive memmove() calls in 'Transfer Mode'
and during recordings, which dramatically reduces CPU load. Thanks to Teemu
Rantanen for pinpointing the problem with the excessive memmove() calls.
- Updated 'channels.conf' (thanks to Achim Lange).
- Added/improved Swedish language texts (thanks to Jan Ekholm).
- Fixed the description of the "Scroll pages" OSD setup parameter ('yes' and 'no'
were mixed up).
- Fixed handling the LOG_LOCALn parameters in the -l option (thanks to Dimitrios
Dimitrakos).
- Changed EIT processing to always read a full section.
- Fixed handling user defined CFLAGS in libdtv/libvdr/Makefile (thanks to Clemens
Kirchgatterer and Robert Schiele).
- Fixed skipping unavailable channels in the EPG scanner.

Version 1.1.17
- Added new entries to 'ca.conf'.
- Fixed closing unused PID handles (thanks to Stefan Schluenss for reporting this
one).
- Added more examples to 'diseqc.conf' (thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed disabling multiple recordings on a single DVB card (comment out the definition
of the macros DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE and DO_MULTIPLE_RECORDINGS in
dvbdevice.c).
- Plugins can now have their very own OSD setup in the object they return from
a call to cPlugin::MainMenuAction(). In order to implement this, the return type
of cPlugin::MainMenuAction() had to be changed from (cOsdMenu *) to (cOsdObject *).
So in case you are compiling an existing plugin with this version of VDR and you
get an error message, simply change cOsdMenu to cOsdObject in the plugin's source
for the MainMenuAction() function.
Plugin authors who have so far (ab)used the cControl mechanism to implement their
own raw OSD should take a look at the new demo plugin 'osddemo'. It implements
a very primitive game that shows how a plugin can have its own raw OSD. Especially
look into cLineGame and see how it implements the Show() function. See also
the chapter on "User interaction" in PLUGINS.html.
- Added three new fields to the lines in 'channels.conf': NID, TID and RID. NID and
TID are the Network and Transport Stream IDs, respectively. RID is an additional ID
that can be used to tell apart channels that would otherwise be indistinguishable.
This is typically the case with radio channels, which may have the same NID, TID
and SID, but different "radio IDs". This new field is therefore called RID ("radio
ID"). Currently NID and TID are not yet used by VDR and should always be 0. The
RID is actually used when building the "unique channel ID", so if you have channels
in your 'channels.conf' file that cause error messages when loading, you can set
the RIDs of these channels to different values.
When reading an old 'channels.conf' these new fields will be automatically
initialized to 0 and once the file is written back to disk they will be appended
to the channel definitions.
Thanks to Régis Bossut for pointing out that with some providers the channels can
only be distinguished through the RID.
- The "unique channel ID" now contains an optional 5th part (the RID). See man vdr(5).
- Updated 'channels.conf.cable' and made some channels unique using the new RID
(thanks to Andreas Kool for pointing out the problems).
- Made some channels unique in 'channels.conf.terr' using the new RID.
- Extended the '-l' option to allow logging to LOG_LOCALn (n=0..7) by writing, for
instance, '-l 3.7' (suggested by Jürgen Schmidt).
- Now deleting stale lock files if they have a time stamp that is outside the window
'now +/- LOCKFILESTALETIME'. This improves things in cases where the system time
makes far jumps, so that a lock file might end up with a time stamp that lies
in the distant future (thanks to Oliver Endriss).

Version 1.0.0pre4
- Added 'Ca' code 201 for 'Cryptoworks, GOD-DIGITAL' to 'ca.conf' (thanks to Bernd Schweikert). - Fixed avoiding the primary DVB interface in case Setup.PrimaryLimit is 0. - Fixed handling CICAM settings if the first one of a DVB card was FTA. - Fixed reacting on changes in CICAM settings (needed to restart VDR before). - The "Blue" button in the "Main" menu now works as "Stop" button if a recording is currently being replayed. - New command line option '-m' to mute audio of the primary DVB device at startup (suggested by Mirko Gnther). - The new SVDRP command VOLU can be used to control the audio volume (suggested by Mirko Gnther). - Fixed resetting 'mute' state when setting the volume to a non-zero value. - Added log messages when deleting recordings in case the disk runs full while recording. - Fixed closing a pipe (used for replaying Dolby Digital audio), which sometimes left 'zombie' processes behind (thanks to Werner Fink for helping to debug this one). - Now starting the Dolby Digital output thread only if the recording actually contains Dolby Digital audio data (thanks to Werner Fink). - Implemented OSD for Volume and Mute (works only if there is no other OSD activity, but this should be no problem for normal use). - Changed the MANUAL description of the "Conditional Access" setup parameters to reflect the actual "CICAM DVBn m" notation in the "Setup" menu. - The new Setup parameter "Use time from transponder" can be used to define which transponder shall be used to set the system time (see MANUAL for details). If you have been using the SetSystemTime option previously, you now MUST select a channel that you trust to have a reliable time base. - Grouped the Setup parameters into several sub-menus, so that each group of parameters fits on a single screen - unless the height of the OSD has been set to a small value (based on code from Markus Lang). - Changed the title of the "Main" menu to "VDR". - Fixed displaying a system message while the replay mode is being shown. - Physically removing a deleted recording if one with the same name shall be deleted again. - The "Left" and "Right" keys are now used to page up and down in text displays (like the EPG descriptions or the results of commands executed from the "Commands" menu). - Fixed high CPU usage in transfer mode. - Replaced 'killproc' with 'killall' in 'runvdr', since apparently 'killproc' is not available by default on some Linux distributions, whereas 'killall' is. Please check if your system provides 'killall' - if it doesn't, please change this back in 'runvdr' and report this (thanks to Achim Lange). - The "Commands" menu now automatically assigns number keys as hotkeys to the commands. If you have preceeded your commands with digits you may want to remove these from your 'commands.conf' file. - The new Setup item "Restart" can be used to force a complete restart of VDR, including reloading the driver. Note that this can only work if VDR and the driver are wrapped into a mechanism that actually performs this action if VDR exits. The 'runvdr' script can be used for this purpose. - Refined texts of the "Setup" menu. |

Version 1.0.0pre3
- Fixed parsing 'E' records in epg2html.pl. - Fixed a deadlock when switching channels via Schedule/Now|Next/Switch (reported by Martin Hammerschmid). - Changed the meaning of the 'Ca' parameter in 'channels.conf'. Each channel can now define which decryption method it needs in order to be accessed. The new configuration file 'ca.conf' contains the defined values, and the default 'channels.conf' has been modifed to contain the new values for 'Premiere World' and 'ORF'. If you use the default 'channels.conf' and have the conditional access hardware to receive encrypted channels, please make sure you copy the file 'ca.conf' into your /video directory (or wherever your configuration files are located) and go into the "Setup" menu and set the CICAM values according to your hardware setup. Currently there are two possible CICAM entries per DVB card, so any card can implement up to two different conditional access modes (besides the default "Free To Air" mode, which is always assumed to be available on any DVB card). - Updated French language texts (thanks to Jean-Claude Repetto). |
